Overview

These instructions assume you have already worked through:this and then that.

With a working Eclipse Juno + CDT and MinGW and CppUTest built, you are ready to create your first project.

Steps

Basic Project Creation

• Start eclipse and select a project directory. For this example, I'll use c:\learncpp\workspaces\first_example
• Close the Welcome window
• In the Project Explorer (left-most column), right-click and select New::C++ Project
• For the project name, enter SimpleExample
• Under Project Type, expand Executable and select Empty Project

What you select next depends on your environment

Windows

• Select MingGW GCC

OS X and *nix

• Selecte Cross GCC (guess)

• Click FInish

Creating First Main

• Select the project SimpleExample, right-click and select New::File
• Enter RunAllTests.cpp for the name
• Enter the following code:

#include <CppUTest/CommandLineTestRunner.h>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    return CommandLineTestRunner::RunAllTests(argc, argv);
}

• This does not compile, time for projet settings

Project Settings

This includes both project settings and recommended workspace settings

• Right-click on the project SimpleExample and select Properties
• Open up C/C++ Build then Settings
• Under GCC C++ Compiler first select Includes
• Under Include Paths (-I) add a new entry:// c:\learncpp\cpputest\include\\
• Again in C/C++ Build then Miscellaneous add -std=c++0x to Other flags - note you need to add a space first.
• Next, go to MinGW C++ Linker and select Libraries
• Under Libraries (-l) add cpputest
• Under Library searh path (-L) add c:\learncpp\cpputest\lib
• Finally, save all of your changes by clicking on OK**

While your should be able to compile, you should make a few more changes.

• Set workspace preferences (Windows Window::Preferences)
• Under General select Workspace
• Enable: Refresh using native hooks or polling, Refresh on access, Save automatically before build

If having the editor complete things like "" and {} bother you:

• Under C/C++, Editor, Typing
• Disable any of of the checkboxes under Automatically close as you see fit

• Save all of your changes by clicking on OK

Build and Run

Hit ctrl-F11 to build and run your tests:

OK (0 tests, 0 ran, 0 checks, 0 ignored, 0 filtered out, 0 ms)
